Pilates premium Place
If you are pregnant, it is good to maintain your fitness during pregnancy.
Pregnancy, childbirth and recovery go better when your body is well prepared. In addition to physical exercises, breathing and relaxation techniques are part of pregnancy pilates. During the lesson, attention is also paid to a bit of theory to prepare you for what is to come. With pregnancy pilates you learn to control muscles that are extra useful during this intensive period in your life. We use various Pilates materials such as the ring “the Spine Corrector”, dyna bands, various balls etc. Pilates exercises contribute to a correct posture. The deeper muscle groups are trained, including your pelvic floor muscles, to provide support where necessary.
What changes during your pregnancy?
The hormones that accompany pregnancy ensure that ligaments (bands of connective tissue), capsules and, for example, the muscles of your lower back become more flexible and therefore less stable. This increase in mobility is necessary to make room for your baby and is useful during your delivery. Your body weight also increases, which changes and aggravates your posture and the strain on your muscles and joints. All these changes often cause physical complaints such as pelvic pain, back pain and fatigue. These physical changes cannot be prevented and are part of being pregnant. However, you can strengthen muscle groups that are needed to provide support for carrying your baby and to prevent and combat any complaints mentioned. It is advisable to start exercises in time to develop or maintain muscle strength and to take care of your general fitness.
Always consult with your midwife or GP in advance whether it is wise to do physical exercise such as pregnancy pilates in your condition.
